I really really want to love pentadactyl, but the interfering with google app shortcuts is a major fall through. I just don't see the huge advantage, when most of my browser tasks already have shortcuts. I do like the /-search, but I already use Firefox's accessibility options to do it. I just don't know.

Hit ctrl-z to enter pass through mode, and it will no longer interfere. Hit escape to exit pass through mode.

You can even set up an autocommand to auto enable pass through mode for specific websites and disable it when you move away from the page.
au LocationChange .* js modes.passAllKeys = /mail.google\.com/.test(buffer.URL) | /google\.com\/reader/.test(buffer.URL)
that created an autocommand based on the LocationChange event which is run against all websites and then it sets the modes.passAllKeys property to true if the url of the buffer matches that of the regex.
